Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    Curious whether people think the Burr-DiFi Cuckoo bill doesn't require banks & other finance to provide decrypted data?

        @emptywheel I'm fairly well informed & think about such things as that, but all I can say is "huh?"

        @papicek What do you mean? They have to provide data anyway under Bank Secrecy, as you know, but often don't.

        @emptywheel Thought it was something like that, but banks have been compelled to disclose terror funding for awhile I thought.

        @emptywheel Because encryption by unwashed masses = criminal behavior & can't be allowed vs 1%ers never commit crimes that govt can see?
